SYMPTOMSUnder certain circumstances, when Event 23 outage 0x0A is reported by a Distributed Link Service, the reconnection fails with the following event log error: This problem occurs even when no other connections are configured to use the link service that is running on the central server. CAUSEWhen the LAN session is broken between the remote link service (running in the remote branch) and the central link service (running in the central office), both SNA Server and the centralized link service receive a "lost locality" message. However, in some cases, SNA Server receives a "lost locality" before the centralized link service. This causes SNA Server to reissue a new Open(Link) request while the central link service still believes its current connection is still active, causing the central link to respond with error x0AFF (duplicate destination mac/sap for link service). STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in SNA Server versions 3.0,
3.0 SP1, 3.0 SP2, and 4.0.
S E R V P A C K MORE INFORMATIONWith the fix applied, the distributed link service retries the Open(Link) request if it receives error 0x0AFF from the central link service. The updated module is: <snaroot>\system\snaremls.dll.
